"To say that our trip to Taiwan was amazing would be an understatement. It was, well a once in a lifetime experience for me. And for many others too.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen my name is Jill Tulipano and I was 13 when I participated in the international children's games being held in Kaunas, Lithuania. The International Children's Games is where kids from all over come together to play sports. It was created by Metod Klemenc, whose childhood suffered from WW2 and he wanted “to create a better world based on friendship, sport seemed to be one of the best means to bring together young people from different countries.
